percy jackson enthusist and literary nerd

[aina-txt]

I hate it so much when people read Percy Jackson through a contemporary adult romance book lense. Like Percy is not written to be Rhysand. People being like “ugh I genuinely was so pissed when Percy said anything nice abt Rachel” makes me so mad. Shut the fuck up

I can think of so many reasons why son of neptune is a top 5 pjo book but a big one is just that the stakes are so fucking high for the entire trio. ALL of them have good reason to believe they won't survive the quest. percy just lost his achilles curse and ella's prophecy foretells that a son of neptune will drown. iris personally told frank that he'll die holding his firewood and then the quest demands that he burns it in order to melt thanatos' ice chains (+he's worried that thanatos will take his life regardless because of his firewood). hazel isn't even supposed to be alive in the first place and the main conceit of the quest asks her to fight to free the god whose very purpose is to kill her. son of neptune is a story about death and the terror of its inevitability. the gang was in a state of highly personalized abject mortal peril for most of that book and there is a very feasible alternate universe in which the quest to alaska "succeeds" and not a single one of them makes it back alive

I love in episode 5 when Clarisse tells Grover that Percy and Annabeth are dead and Grover is basically like:

Clarisse: Grover I hate to tell you this but… Percy is dead 😔

Grover: nah me and my man are tight he’s good. we’re actually linked telepathically now. We’ve formed a bromance like no other trust Clarisse!! 🙂‍↕️

they're so 13 with a bad idea telling each other "yessss this is brilliant"

Rereading the Titan’s Curse and the way the end of season 2 changes the context of this scene. Holy shit next season is going to be devastating

get him some blue eye contacts hes too powerful

[clonerightsagenda]

Some children's fantasy series: There are worldbuilding reasons why children have to take the lead in dealing with supernatural problems (truesight fades with age, you start with more power and lose it, children's lack of experience with failure makes them attempt and accomplish the impossible, etc.)

Percy Jackson: We are sending 12 year olds on suicide quests because fuck them kids

[twitcherpated]

Even better:

We're sending kids in quests because there are no adult heroes. Why are there no adult heroes? Oh because they all die as kids (on quests).

[mmavverickk]

Even Better Part 2:

We now have another Camp with another child army! Those guys do have adults, though. Why do we have a child army? Because fuck them kids.

i LOVE the idea of "i can't win, but you can lose" in fictional confrontations it is SO fucking tasty. the human nature to self destruct and the human nature to survive by any means necessary combined at its finest.

when thalia and percy get into an argument next season and in the heat of the moment of fighting over who knows annabeth better, thalia snaps out: “oh yeah? well did you know she was thinking about joining the hunters?” which makes percy freeze, thus beginning his spiral and inner turmoil

Love the Clarisse development we’re getting this season. She can’t flirt. Her daddy issues are apparent. She befriends people by going ‘doesn’t it suck being a LOSER’. She is so sick of Percy Jackson.
